There have been a few comments here about not fighting if you have no chance to win. Perhaps a better way to look at it is if you are going to loose make it cost the winner as much as possible, or maybe just fight because it is the more honorable way to be defeated. The Jews in Warsaw fought, I think knowing that they couldn’t win yet unwilling to submit. They cost the Germans time, money and lives. Who knows how many other Jews lived because of their actions. If more European Jews fought and killed one German soldier for every 10, 20 or even 100 Jews put in the ovens more Jews may have survived that war. The willingness to fight should not be weighed against the odds of winning but should be decided by what is honorable, or right.
